The rates on this page are the retail term deposit rates The Mutual Bank publishes in its own Consumer Data Right product feed, read once a day. Business, SMSF and staff-only products are left out. A product the bank publishes as “tailored” (pricing may be negotiated) is included only when the bank also states it is open to individuals, and is marked as tailored. A day on which we read no rate is a gap on this page — never an estimate.
